THE REST

Which is issued December 81, is
really not so much a New-Year's 8
number as 1t is second part of the
Christmas number.
The article, "Millet and the
hildren," by Ripley Hitchcock,
with its numerous illustrations by
the great peasant painter, and the
curious little sketches, never before
published, made by him to amuse his
grandchildren, will also amuse and
interest all the readers of St. Nicho-
las, whether they are fond of art or
only of pictures and the two Eton
papers. "a Glimpse of Eton
School," by Edwin D Mead, and "a
Visit to Eton," by Elizabeth Robins
Pennell, forming the second of the
"Four Great English Schools" series,
give keen insight into the manners
land customs of boys to day and long
ago in the greatest of all the English
schools. The drawings by Joseph
Pennell admirably explain and sup
plement the text.
Frances Hodgon Burnett's new
short serial, "The Story of Prince
Fairyfoot, is continued, with the
clever and characteristic illustrations
by Alfred Brennan; Frank r. Stock
ton, in the second half of his latest
shipwreck story, explains wherein 1t

hero tJuan and Juanita," in Miss
Baylor's serial, break away from
their Camanche captors, after num-
Der of exciting adventures and hair
breadth escapes; and Mrs. Alllng's

spiracy'' eliminates successfully
both for the consplrators and their
victim.

The historian of a Boston paper
is reminded of a little episode in the
career of the Rev. Mr.. Chasuble, a
clergyman of his acquaintance, who
for some time presided over the re-
ligious services in one of our subur-
ban towns. Chasuble was a good
deal of a gourmet as well as faith
full pastor. One day he happened
in at a parishloner's house about
dinner time, and meekly accepted a.
invitation to dinner He found the
table decorated with sporadic dish
here and there, with nothing that
promised the smallest satisfaction
for either the appetite or the palate.
tMr. Chasuble," said the head of the
house, "wilI you offer our thanks
for these viands? 81 would be glad
to accommodate you,'' said the
clergyman, ''but l haven't got the
check"

That all men have equal rights Is
cardinal doctrine in the theory of
Democratic government, but 1t is
possible to expand the claim to q
point beyond the bound of rights
simply, and apply it to the results Of
the exercise of our inalienable en-
dowments. Human beings are not
born with equal gifts and powers.
Wherever there is an upper and q
middle, there must be an under.
The weak must seek the wall and be q
stile from which the ambitious strong
will vault toward the top. Nor can
those appointed by nature for the
pyramids base serve in other posi-
ton. To press the wall as little as
possible, get all the pay for service
that it demands, and make the s'best
of now and here" Is the bound Of
their possibilities. without four-
dation there can be nc superstrtfc-
ture. and the position Is Us truly
honorable as any other, though uni
versal mankind have held it to be
less desirable. All theories for the

In three years 1 improved the
production of my fruit trees from Is
to 200 bushels as follows: / first re-
duced the top one-fourth; then in
the fall ploughed the soil towards
the trees Between the trees / al
loved the plough to run deep, so
that the water would settle away
from them. In the spring 1 hauled
a fair quantity of manure, puiverized
it well and made up some hills, in
which planted some corn and beans
and pumpkins The following
spring l repeated this. Ny trees
began growing very fast, and that
fall harvested 20 bushels of good
apples. The next spring 1 manured
for the third time, planted it in pota-
toes and harvested 200 bushels of
fruit. L changed the yield of yell
low Bellfower tree from three
fourths of busheL to seven bushels.
From my experience I am of the
opinion that most trees have too
much top for the amount of roots
and deficiency of nourishment. j
like fall or winter pruning.--Practi-

GEN LoGANs SUDDEN DEATH

GEN L0GANS SUDDEN DEATH
Is great shock to the nation. Few
knew that he was even indIsposed
when the news of his death flashed
over the wires and thousands of peo-
pie stood aghast at the sadden
change from health and vigor to cold
and silent death. For the past
twenty-five years there has been no
man more constantly before the pub
lie than General John A. Logan.
Through all his career he has been
noted for his fearlessness and purity
of character, both in public and prl-
vate life. Loved by friends and
respected by enemies he will be
mourned by all.
His desth adds another to the long
list of victims to sudden and acute
rheumatism Probably no disease is
so common as rheumatism, none is
more sudden or dangerous, and there
is certainly none which so complete
ly battles medical skill.
Only one remedy has yet been dis
covered which is sure and safe
cure for rheumatism and its twin di-
sease, neuralgia, and that is Athlo-
phoros. In thousands Of cases Athlo-
phoros has proved quick and GER
tain cure for these diseases. In
connection with Athlophoros Pills it
has never yet failed to speedily effect
a cure.
In all probability many deaths at
tributed to heart disease are caused
by these terrible diseases, which are
far more dangerous than is generally
considered.
Rheumatism, even though in a
very mild form, is extremely dam
gerous. for it is liable at any moment
to go to the heart and cause instant
death. Why trifle with a disease so
fatal when certain cure can be OBJ
tanned of any druggist?
Every druggist should keep Athlo-
phoros and Athlophoros Pills, but
where they cannot be bought Of the
druggist the Atblophoros Co., 112e
Wall ST.. New York. will send either
(carriage paid) on receipt of regular
price, which is S1.0O per bottle for
Athlophoros and SOC. for Pills.
For liver and kidney disease, dyspepsia, indiges-
tiOn, weakness, debility, diseases Of women,
constipation, headache, impure blood, etc, Athio-
phoros Pills are unequaled.

A petition is being extensively cir
culated in Maryland calling the
attention of congress to a. system Of
slavery existing on "vessels engag-
ed in oyster dredging in the waters
of the Chesapeake bay and its trIb-
utaries, which. IN its brutality, OPP
preston and horrible treatment has,
rarely been equaled in history. Men
are enticed by false representation
to the ship for short period, and
often are kidnapped by brutal force
and kept against their wills by force
as slaves on these vessels in the bay
for three, four and five months, be-
ing transferred from one boat to an
ether, kept at hard work without
proper provisions, without pay, and
under the most cruel and horrible
treatment. Many OF them have been
murdered, and the murderers never
have been brought to justice; and

maltreatment, as well as the expos

NOW THE SOUTH has GROWN

The figures that record the pro-
gress of the South within the last
six years present remarkable and
instructive exhibit, and constitute an
interesting and engrossing study for
the student of physical and social
evolutions. The most gratifying
feature of the exhibit is the evidence
it affords that the industrial develop
ment Of the South is general, mutual,
uniform and relatively equal in all
the principal productive occupations.
Agriculture and stock-raising show
the same wonderful growth that is
visible in our manufactures.
When the last census was taken,
the twelve Southern states, not in
Guiding Maryland and Missouri,
were assessed for 81, 1874 ,208, sos.
Their assessment to- day is S3,117,-
312, ,602, an increase of 1888, 104,-
097, or 42.7 per cent.
In 1S79-8O the crops raised in
these twelve states were valued at
S612, ,287, ,31s; for 1886 they were
SSO7, $40, 600, an increase of $780,
672, ,282. or over 80 per cent.
There were in 1S79-80 "a, ,5o3
factories in the South, with capi-
tai of SIG. 1866, ,23O, employing 215,-
245 hands, and turning out products
to the value of $315, 1924, ,794 On
November /, 1886, there were 53,-
897 establishments, with 1892, ,677,-
75O of capital, 37s,82O hands en-
ployed, and products of value of
S542, 1897 900.
In 1880 the mineral output of the
South constituted barely 8 per cent.
Of the total production of the United
States. In six years it has sprung
from S5,645, 1873 to $l8,S25, 900, an
increase of about 225 per cent.

This is an increase of $457 ,206,-
7S9, or AZ per cent, in the amount of
wealth produced annually. The pro-
duction per capita, which was $1,000
in 1880, is S87.40 in 1861 marked
improvement, which is the more
striking because it occurred in the
midst of depression which has
affected the whole world.

BOYS. ana Girls Lunch.

A gentleman of leisure stopped recently
near one of the coffee and pie stands that
abound down town in the neighborhood OF
large employing establishments with tho
purpose of ascertaining what the boys and
girls ate and drank at their monday lunch.
So soon as the whistle blew for 12 O'Clock
he found the stands swarmed and more
coming. Many of the boys and girls came
kettle in hand, which was filled with
either Coffee or milk, and after light
purchase of pie or cake the lunch was car
ried to the shop for consumption. The
milk is necessarily good, as it wouldn't
pay the proprietor of the stand to have it
otherwise, and have an inspector with his
lactometer to discover it. The "coffeen is
not subject to official suspicion, and there
fore is generally worthy of doubt. The
pies, he fancied, must be good, as they are
supplied by great manufacturers who turn
them out by the thousands and can afford
to put palatable "works' of varied in
gradients into them, as by buying fruits
and berries and sugar in big quantities
they get them very cheap. AS to the crust,
1T isn't any too rich. The cakes were dry,
and what nourishment the girls that eat
them obtain from the peculiar food is O
puzzle. One accomplished young lady,
who boasted of thick bang, when ques-
toned on the subject, replied: ooh, we
soaks 'em" A boy called for piece of
rhubarb pie, and washed it down with a
glass of lemonade. He took his lunch
after the style of other gentlemen-those
who patronize down town Delmonico's,
Nash g. Crooks and the Astor house. He
ate from the counter and called for his
check. Possibly he tipped the waiter, too.

Profes.or Grax,s relautorraph.

Professor Elisha Gray, of telephone
fame, is perfectiDg an invention with Won
derful possibilities, and one which prom
tses great results. 1t has already reached
that stage which insures its practical sue
cess, the experiments thus far proving
eminently satisfactory. The "telauto-
graph'' is the name by which the instru
ment will be known, which, by the way,
conveys a very fair idea of what the in
strument really is. Once in operation it
will be possible for the Chicago speculator
to deliver to the New York broker a telau-
tographic order to buy or sell 1000 or 1O,-
600 shares of railroad stock, an exact fac
similc of the order being reproduced in
that city at the same instant it is written
here. If the Chicago man happens to be
in New York and wants to send his wife
a check for money he simply writes it out
in that city, and the moment he is through
it is in his wife's hands here. The cleo
tric current, of course, is an important
factor in the invention, but the chief feat
ure is the plate or instrument on which
the writing is done. No particular kind
CT pen or pencil has to be used; in fact, a
sharp pointed instrument of any kind or
even piece of wood, will answer the pur-
pose. The paper on which the writing is
done and the autograph reproduced does
not have to be prepared, for in the first in
stance it is the pressure on the plate
which gives the impulse to the machine,
while the reproduction is brought about
by u tracing point, which may he a
properly linked pen or even an ordinary
lead pencil attached to u movable arm in
the receiving machine at the other end of
the line.-Chicago Tribune.

Wouldn't Sell His Drunk so Cheap.

Standing in the lobby of hotel in Ban
gor not long ago 1 got into conversation
with u gentleman who was representing
medical apparatus with u long Greek
name. 1t is not my intention to give the
arrangement for vapor baths u puff, but l
do want to describe rather funny Incl
dent that followed our conversation My
companion had just been describing to me
how his process would sober off in half an
hour man on the verge of delirium
tremens, and how many men never
thought of going home to their families
without having recourse to his machine.
While we were talking u man, evidently
very much under the influence of too DO
tent libations, came in, and, leaning over
the counter, began a rather thick CONVEX
sation with the clerk. We sauntered over,
and soon were on the best of terms with
the devotee of Bacchus. After a while
the man said he wished he could taper off
and go home. Here was an opportunity,
and the machine above referred to was
explained to him. Five minutes later he
had staggered up stairs, and stood ready
to be cured. His coat was already off,
when drunken idea seized him. "Slay,
what er tn cost of bath?" he asked.
'"Two dollars" was the reply. "Well,
hic, this drunk's cost t'enty dollars and
no feller's goin' to get it for two dollars.
I'll keep it first" And he did.-Lewis-
